PC-12 GNS 430 direct-to

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When entering a direct-to destination into the GNS 430, is there a way to use the keyboard instead of several dozen mouseclicks?  The manual, gns430_530_poh.pdf page 28 states, "Note: After you�ve turned the Outer Knob to highlight the first letter, you can type the identifier on your keyboard."  This works with the FSX default GPS500 and pretty much everybody else's implementation of the GNS430 but doesn't work on either of the 430's on the PC-12.  Is there any way to get it to work, or should I just replace the GPS with another one?

	Hello Bob, Have you tried the Scroll lock button? This release may have been an earlier one where we didnt implement keyboard input.

	Yes, I did try the Scroll Lock. After discovering the Scroll Lock key enabled keyboard input to the GPS on the Cessna 162 Skycatcher, I tried it on the PC-12. No joy; keyboard still doesn't work.
